AUTO DJANGO

django.sh shell script

(major updates in v0️⃣.3️⃣)

Starting up a Django project never has been easier

• django.sh checks for needed variables
• asks for the project folder/directory name

• creates needed folders

• does all the rest

screenshot bellow is for versions upto v0.2 (upgraded in v0.3) and above

• creates crisp requirements.txt (only used packages, without dependecies, as they will be autoinstalled anyway 😉)

Current version v0.3

Lots of improvements.

Clean and secure settings.py.

With python-dotenv and .env variable in its due places.

Two folders are created for static and images, urls.py created for the first app.

More code-cleaning done through the script

HOW-TO:

1. chmod +x django.sh # make it executable
2. ./django.sh name_of_your_project firstapp # do not use snake case for the firstapp yet, please
3. In a second script asks for MAIN_FOLDER_of_your_project
4. By default your project will be paced in /home/<your_username>/Dev/<MAIN_FOLDER_of_your_project>/<name_of_your_project>
5. If you need any additional apps in venv for your project, write names of the apps when asked (shoul be separated by spaces)

Current file structure v0.3

django.sh creates this settings.py all by itself in less than a minute

What it does:

• django.sh installs virtual environment
• django.sh installs and upgrades pip
• django.sh installs flake8 and black
• django.sh installs python-dotenv (added in v0.3)
• django.sh installs additional packages of your choice (added in v0.2 of the script)
• django.sh creates nice and clean requirements.txt (added in v0.2 of the script)
• django.sh deletes all comments in settings.py and url.py (added in v0.3)
• django.sh edits settings.py (deletes top comments, regirsters your first app)
• django.sh creates media and static folders and registers them in settings.py (added in v0.3)
• django.sh runs all migrations and finally
• django.sh starts developer web-server of you Django project

Enjoy!

• feel free to modify this script and tailor to your needs.
• consider giving it a star, if you like it 🙂
